Course Description

Whether you're yet to start your training or you've been in business for years, this course will get you up to speed on literally EVERYTHING you need to know to take your next step with the right foot.

In this workshop, you'll decide how and where you're actually physically going to house your salon and you'll set up your space in a comfortable, ergonomic way. 

We're going to sort out how you're going to manage appointments, how to determine your working hours, and you'll get your working stock ready to go and hopefully a small retail stand as well.

You can watch our Salon Success workshops in any order but our recommended order makes this #5 of 12.

Educator

Penny Lawler

Penny Lawler has combined her two passions - teaching and the beauty industry - into an extremely successful career. She began working in adult education in 2006 and qualified as a Nail Technician a year later. In 2011 she took the leap to make nails her full time job and it was a natural progression to include education within that role. Between 2011-2016 she built 4 successful businesses, all within the beauty industry - the very first of which was a nail salon that went from zero clients in a spare bedroom to 300 clients and several staff in 18 months. "With 9 years’ industry experience including 5 years running a school for Nail Technicians I see, on a daily basis, a steady stream of women who are drawn to our industry by passion BUT so many struggle after graduation, lacking the skills to turn their qualification into a viable business." Penny now shifts her focus to mentoring others in the industry and turning passion into profit.
